“If we do not receive a discount from Gazprom on current supplies ... then we will have to increase tariffs. I last week ... officially appealed to the Russian president asking us to give a discount starting September 1, ”said Dodon on RTR Moldova.
He stressed that his main task is to convince Russia of giving this discount to Moldova.
At the same time, according to him, the situation will be complicated if Russia stops gas transit through Ukraine.
“If there is a transit, we need to agree on the price of gas for the next year and negotiate the terms of transit. If there is no transit, then it is difficult for us to count on reverse, since this is a technically difficult process, ”Dodon said.
Earlier it was reported that during his visit to Moscow on July 17, Dodon will discuss with Gazprom management the reduction of gas prices for Moldova.
